History Creator / MatthewMercer

** As both a big fan of the ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' series, and of fellow voice actor Creator/JimCummings, Matt considered it a pristine honour to be taking up the role of fan-favourite Minsc in ''VideoGame/BaldursGate3'', the role that Cummings had previously played.

* TrollingCreator: He admitted to like to play ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' and say "[[PreAsskickingOneLiner It's high noon]]" which causes his teammates to panic, thinking that the enemy is using Cassidy, the character he voices.[[note]] When Cassidy says the phrase, it's because he activated Deadeye, which is a OneHitKill. When you hear that, you want to ''run for your life''.[[/note]]

Matthew Christopher Miller (June 29, 1982-), better known by his stage name '''Matthew Mercer''', is an American voice actor. Born in Florida, he started off providing background voices in anime dubbing in the early 2000s. He eventually found more prominence in Japanese video game dubs and some western animation voice roles, though around 2012/2013, he eventually started gaining more prominent roles in anime voiceover work. In 2010, he directed and starred in the live-action web original series ''WebVideo/ThereWillBeBrawl'', which also featured friends and other voice actors such as Creator/KyleHebert.

However, his most well-known current role is working as the DM for Creator/GeekAndSundry's ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', where he and other voice actors get together to play ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. This has become so successful, he also was called on to DM the Series/{{Nerdist}} campaign ''WebVideo/ForceGrey: Giant Hunters''. Oh, and he was also DM for a game featuring LetsPlay/{{Pewdiepie}} and [=CinnamonToastKen=]. Plus, he got to DM a one-shot for Creator/VinDiesel in a Critical Role spin-off to promote ''Film/TheLastWitchHunter''. And then on August 6, 2016, Matt got to announce that his custom campaign setting was being made into a book that contained information on how to run games in his custom setting. In case you hadn't figured it out, he ''really'' likes D&D (if you're wondering, his personal favorite character that he likes to play is a Dwarf Bard). For Red Nose Day 2019, he fulfilled a long-term goal of his by being Dungeon Master for Creator/StephenColbert, in a one-on-one session with content voted on by fans through donations.
